Wake to birdsong in the apple trees and early morning fog on the Back River....
Then make yourself delicious coffee, a hearty, healthy breakfast to start the day...wander 15 acres of gardens and woodland trails....try out any of our benches....borrow an inflatable tandem kayak to paddle with local seals....

meet our friendly bald eagles
and other critters....

    

....watch the Maine painted turtles or listen to frogs on the freshwater pond....

....wander the park-like grounds....

....take a cool dip in the cove or a sail or paddle on the river....

Refreshed, visit the Bold Colorful Life Gallery  for art and jewelry, or venture out into the Boothbay region...the Coastal Maine Botanical Garden is only 4 miles away!
At the end of the day, imagine coming ‘home’ to fix yourself a snack and drink on your porch....the Cape...

...or the Farmhouse...

 

....a good book by the fire....  ....a sunset through the Great Room windows....

....and a long, delicious sleep in one of your  lovely bedrooms decorated in whimsical colors, with private bath, luxurious bedding, paddle fans*, cable TV, WiFi....
